  • By pressing any button other than the ID button, number buttons (0 to 9), and ALL button while the ID setting dialog box is being displayed, you can cancel the dialog box.

Important:

  • ID numbers should be two-digit numbers "01" to "63." The other numbers are invalid.
  • When the PROJECTOR ID number is any of "01" to "63," you can control the projector by matching the CONTROLLER ID with the PROJECTOR ID number or setting it to "ALL."
  • When the PROJECTOR ID number is "ALL," you can control the projector using the remote control regardless of the CONTROLLER ID number.
  • When the PROJECTOR ID number is uncertain, you can control the projector regardless of the ID number by setting the CONTROLLER ID to "ALL."

Before setting up

Before setting up the projector, check the operating environment.

If the environmental requirements are not satisfied, the projector may break down or fail.

Setup environment

The allowable operating temperature varies depending on the HIGH ALTITUDE mode setting.

For use in the STANDARD mode, the allowable operating temperature is +41°F (+5°C) to +104°F (+40°C).

For use in the HIGH ALTITUDE mode (see page 13), the allowable operating temperature is +41°F (+5°C) to +95°F (+35°C), which allows floor installation or ceiling installation only.

Setting up the screen

Install the screen perpendicularly to the projector. If the screen can not be installed in such a way, adjust the projection angle of the projector. (See page 14.)

  • Install the screen and projector so that the projector's lens is placed at the same height and horizontal position of the screen center.
  • Do not install the screen where it is exposed to direct sunlight or lighting. Light directly reflecting on the screen makes the projected images whitish and hard to view.

Screen size and projection distance

Refer to the following table to determine the screen size and projection distance.

• For the aspect ratio setting, see page 24.

• The figures in the tables are approximate and may be slightly different from the actual measurements.

- The lens shift height and width show distances from the factory default position.

- For the projection distance of the option lenses, see the tables on pages 78 to 79.

Contact your dealer for purchase of the lamp.

Spare lamp VLT-XD8600LP

Warning:

  • Be careful not to drop the lamp fixing screws into the inside of the projector. Don't put a metal piece or flammable object into the projector. Using the projector with any foreign object present inside may result in electric shock or fire. When you can't remove the foreign object from the inside, contact your dealer for removal.
  • Do not touch the lamp with bare hands or give a shock to the lamp. Attach the lamp properly. Improper handling may cause explosion.
  • Be sure to install the lamp securely. When the lamp isn't installed properly, it won't illuminate. Improper installation may also result in fire.
  • Don't shake the removed lamp or don't lift it above your face. You may be injured in your eye by flying or falling glass fragments.
  • Don't replace the lamp immediately after use because the lamp cover is very hot. You may get burned. Turn off the power using the POWER button. After the lamp goes out, wait about 2 minutes until the intake and exhaust fans for cooling the lamp stop rotating. Then unplug the power cord, and wait at least 1 hour to allow the lamp to cool down enough to the touch.

Interval of lamp replacement

The recommended interval of lamp replacement is about 4000 hours 12 of consecutive use. Such interval differs depending on the operating environment and may be shorter than 4000 hours 12 . Decrease in luminescence and/or color brightness indicates that the lamp needs to be replaced. When the lamp operation time exceeds 3000 hours 1 , the indicator will blink alternately between green and red (while the lamp is lit; when the lamp is not lit, the indicator will be lit red only) and the lamp replacement message will appear on the screen for 1 minute every time the lamp is turned on. When the lamp has been used for about 3800 hours 1 , the replacement message (LAMP REPLACEMENT) will appear on the screen for 1 minute every 20 hours 1 thereafter. When the lamp operation time exceeds 4000 hours 1*2 , the projector automatically shuts off.

*1: Duration when LAMP MODE of the INSTALLATION 1 menu is set to LOW. When it is set to STANDARD, this duration will be shorted.
*2: When LAMP MODE is set to STANDARD, this duration will be shorted to 2000 hours.

Caution:

  • Don't remove the lamp for any purpose other than replacement. Unnecessary removal of the lamp may result in a breakdown.
  • This projector uses a high-pressure mercury lamp as the light source. The high-pressure mercury lamp may explode or fail to illuminate permanently

because of an impact, scratch, or deterioration through use. The period of time until explosion or permanent failure to illuminate varies considerably from lamp to lamp, depending on operation conditions. Therefore, the lamp may explode soon after the start of use.

  • The possibility of explosion of the lamp increases if you use it beyond its replacement period. When the instruction of lamp replacement appears, replace it with a new one immediately even if the lamp is still lighting normally.
  • When the high-pressure mercury lamp explodes, glass fragments will scatter inside or outside the lamp box and the gas charged inside the lamp will diffuse inside or outside the projector. The gas inside the lamp contains mercury. Be careful not to breathe it or avoid it from entering your eye or mouth. If you should breathe it or if it should enter your eye or mouth, see a doctor immediately.
  • In the event that the high-pressure mercury lamp exploded, glass fragments may have been scattered inside the projector.

How to clean the automatic cleaning filter

Check the amount of dust through the dust check window of the filter cover and clean it, if necessary. Before cleaning the filter, be sure to unplug the power cord from the outlet.

  • When the dust box of the automatic cleaning filter is filled up with dust, the cleaning ability decreases. If you use the projector in such a state, the filter is covered by the dust and the temperature inside the product abnormally rises, damaging the internal parts and components and affecting the panel's lifetime, resulting in a breakdown.
  • When the temperature inside the projector is abnormally high, the projector may automatically turn off and go into the standby mode where the light source lamps are off to protect the internal parts and components.
  • Loosen the screw (a) that is securing the filter cover using a Phillips screwdriver and remove the filter cover (b) from the projector.

Specification of RGB signals in each computer mode of the projector (continued)

Important:

  • Some computers aren't compatible with the projector.
  • The projector's maximum resolution is 1920 x 1200 pixels. It may not display images of higher resolutions than 1920 x 1200 correctly.
    • Images with SYNC on G (Green) signal may jitter.
  • Images with SYNC on G (Green) signal may be tinged with green.
  • If the resolution and frequency of your computer aren't shown on the table, find the compatible resolution and frequency by changing the resolution of your computer.
  • TV60 and TV50 are equivalent to 480i and 576i respectively. When these signals are supplied to the VIDEO IN or S-VIDEO IN terminal, the signal mode is indicated as TV60 or TV50. When they are supplied to the COMPUTER/COMPONENT VIDEO IN terminals, the signal mode is indicated as 480i or 576i.

NATIVE mode

When moire patterns or lines of uneven thickness appear on the projected image, these symptoms may be improved by displaying it in its original image size (NATIVE mode). To display the image in the NATIVE mode, set ASPECT of the SIGNAL menu to NATIVE. (See page 31 for menu setting.)

  • For signals that are larger than the panel resolution, only their center part is displayed in the NATIVE mode. The area exceeding the panel resolution isn't displayed.
  • In the NATIVE mode, images are black-framed when the image resolution is lower than the panel resolution.
  • In the NATIVE mode, some signals may be displayed with a black frame even when they have a higher resolution than the panel resolution.
